sjsqd: but then again, what isn't nowadays?
danielpbarron: that doesn't make sense
thestringpuller: lobbes: i wouldn't save in bicoin during a bubble
sjsqd: danielpbarron:then how am I going to walk around with my augmented vision paying for things in 20 years time if bitcoin isn't the ideal cryptocurrency?
danielpbarron: sjsqd, save yourself the trouble and don't install any altcoins
danielpbarron: thestringpuller, sure I wouldn't mind someone reading something that had already been written down; that's more like an audio book than a podcast
danielpbarron: well don't do that
sjsqd: danielpbarron:yeah I tried it once on a VPS but it didn't end well
danielpbarron: don't use gnome if so
danielpbarron: that doesn't excuse you using bitcoin on your windows computer
sjsqd: but we haven't quite reached that point yet
danielpbarron: you won't use apple to literally save your life but you'll use windows to save your job.. ok..
sjsqd: danielpbarron:mainly because Adobe won't release their software on Linux just yet
sjsqd: I don't care if its a lifeboat on the titanic
danielpbarron: if you don't know how, you are practically illiterate
danielpbarron: they need to refine technical ability then; don't give them fire without teaching fire safety
sjsqd: danielpbarron:because it doesn't contribute network resources?
sjsqd: and I don't carry any worthwhile amount on my phone
sjsqd: but beyond having to scrape into my savings to pay for a VPS here or there I actually don't have any way to spend it here yet
sjsqd: asciilifeform:I haven't really spent any, only to show friends how it works
PeterL: save in bitcoin, then you don't have to be tied to usd
PeterL: and you don't see being tied to usd as a problem?
sjsqd: the local currency here hasn't ever really fluctuated
pete_dushenski: sjsqd: it's more along the lines of, just because you like to do something, doesn't mean than a particular avenue of approach is appropriate
asciilifeform: and this is the only reason you wouldn't want to pay in a restaurant with gold?
sjsqd: asciilifeform:haha yes there are 2-3 of them, no I don't own any gold
pete_dushenski: sjsqd: just because you like to eat, doesn't mean you should steal food
sjsqd: PeterL it wouldn't matter because all my wallets are locked, no passwords are stored locally
danielpbarron: clearly you aren't
sjsqd: so the likelihood of bitcoin being adopted widely is high (although it hasn't happened just yet)
sjsqd: I understand the idea of bitcoin universes, I didn't get into it to make a quick buck selling for cash or anything
danielpbarron: no, there really aren't
sjsqd: I don't personally listen to them but there are some interesting topics
danielpbarron: no you didn't
sjsqd: where I live I can't buy bitcoins easily
sjsqd: because I made some posts saying the website wasn't adequate in certain terms
sjsqd: No I hadn't heard of it
sjsqd: I guess the term official/alternative isn't the best to use
sjsqd: I couldn't find much reference to the original foundation in the documentation
PeterL: mircea_popescu:asciilifeform http://i.imgur.com/nnJLHk9.jpg << I don't know why, but this made me laugh until my eyes waterred
jurov: the downside is, generated code for complicated diagrams isn't anything you'd want to show to anyone
jurov: it isn't faster to create the code, but it makes it sooo easier to find the right place where stuff needs to be fixed
jurov: so that people won't act surprised that "there was some version published" like you did few minutes ago
mod6: haha. ok. but i don't see a problem with testing our own thing. even if no one else uses this, i'd like to know if it works or not.
mod6: heh. ok what i mean is, "it compiles and we got it to fully sync, send/receive, generate..." but yeah, use at your own risk. we want to deliver something that doesn't just blow up -- kinda what ascii was frustrated with yesterday.
jurov: there will be many more bumps. don't expect any Release to End All Releases in near future
mod6: so yeah, when we said we were going to release in january; we hadn't hit the 160`001 tx sig verification issue yet and we hadn't considered the last-minute requirement of a static build.
jurov: you don't know which patches your script includes?
jurov: http://thebitcoin.foundation/v0.5.3-0-gd05c03a.tar.gz and this is published, don't remember which one is that
cazalla: apparently kruger shot himself in the head back in 2012 but it didn't work so good
BingoBoingo: Sutures spaced, don't make matching folds the same... cyanoacrylate though...
mircea_popescu: similarly, the girls that can swallow a snake don't puke a lot.
mircea_popescu: the girls that fist that i fucked don't have worse grasp than the naive set.
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=squatter | squatter. In public toilets one who sits all day on a commode waiting for a penis to come at him through a glory ... We can't get these squatters out of our house!
gabriel_laddel: SUBJECTIVE TASTE ISN'T
asciilifeform: as if the old idiots didn't try to censor pr0n
mircea_popescu: well, apparently for some reason i can't have pronz in google nao.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i guess it won't last.
mircea_popescu: but no, they aren't.
trinque: you can't buzz your enemies with a rocket, turning back at the last moment
asciilifeform not specialist, doesn't know what the point of those machines is, if you have rocket
BingoBoingo doesn't imagine his ideal interface for coding uses, but for handling "ideal datacenter" eventually
asciilifeform 'tried' once (broke a hand) - didn't like
mircea_popescu: "oh, how glorious if i couldn't stand and i only had one weavery appendage i could move"
asciilifeform: because spinal column can't talk
adlai: develop a good compiler-compiler for new daily telegraphies, and you don't even need crypto!
decimation: asciilifeform: we don't even have typistgurls in the usa anymore
asciilifeform: doesn't get any lower tech while still electric
decimation: she doesn't have anything that is slowing down the propagation along her myelin sheaths :)
asciilifeform: but the computer - we don't have.
asciilifeform: ^ i wrote this for folks who just couldn't help but want
asciilifeform: notice that i didn't end my 'engelbart's violin' article with 'and now i use microwriter'
adlai: typing [+slime-fuzzy] is likely to remain faster than pretty much any other muscle-based input, just due to evolutionary accident... but the quest here, as i see it, is for a drastically more convenient interface, which sacrifices less than the current ones (which aren't even that convenient)
BingoBoingo: http://www.drunkard.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=36899
trinque: really don't think it can be made to do more than toy interfaces for end users
asciilifeform: and didn't throw glitter garbage in your face
asciilifeform thinks that if BingoBoingo is going to 'don't trust your brain' he needs to share the good dope first
asciilifeform: decimation: no and you can't program with it anyway
asciilifeform doesn't expect to actually get to do it, ever
asciilifeform: adlai: don't process 'interesting' bits on a proprietary crudware box
asciilifeform: decimation: problem is that the later turds won't run on that box
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: that one doesn't deserve it
BingoBoingo: * adlai hasn't seen mention of transrationals yet in the thread, just thinking of dimension changes << Aleph progresses in cardenality up through ALeph sub aleph
asciilifeform: (box in question has proprietary disk controller that won't take standard drives)
adlai hasn't seen mention of transrationals yet in the thread, just thinking of dimension changes
adlai: concatenation doesn't work, you need to interleave
BingoBoingo: Are we sure the fanfic propaganda guy isn't a teen girl "As it turned out, nobody had worked out that her challenging Neville to a Most Ancient Duel meant that she liked him. She'd thought it would be obvious but no, nobody else had even thought of that apparently."
BingoBoingo: <adlai> slightly related, friend who worked one of those shit-selling carts in a canadian mall, hocking 'Dead Sea' products, got asked by a straight-faced mark: "isn't that where captain jack sparrow was from?" << At our local malls those were all hookers at the carts
BingoBoingo working on that since I can't code for shit
adlai: slightly related, friend who worked one of those shit-selling carts in a canadian mall, hocking 'Dead Sea' products, got asked by a straight-faced mark: "isn't that where captain jack sparrow was from?"
assbot: Logged on 04-03-2015 03:25:17; danielpbarron: isn't a private key a number?
BingoBoingo: adlai: Maybe the point is you can't know.
mircea_popescu: the common law has some categories. there's robbery, with violence. there's theft, without violence but with the knowledge of the victim. there's fraud, without the initial knowledge of the victim. there's embezzelment, where the victim isn't a person per se. and there's defalcation, which is merely negligent or reckless, rather than intentional.
adlai isn't sure whether BingoBoingo is talking about geopolitics, ideology, or some mix of them; and to what degree trolling/mockery is distinguishable from his own actual opinions/beliefs
decimation: at any rate, I don't think poitras or greenwald have enough of a clue to move a person of interest across borders
asciilifeform: to borrow dan mocsny's device, 'like the ruins of a great city, you can tell the woman was once beautiful - but you wouldn't want to move into parthenon' ☟︎
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: But you haven't even heard the loving narration.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: iirc greenwald doesn't go chicks
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the two aren't distinct.
asciilifeform: that won't touch normal pgp keys, and requires centrally-blessed 'certs'
